NOx detection is an innovative approach in CMP (Chemical Mechanical Polishing) process control. CMP smoothens the wafer surface with a combined chemical and mechanical polishing procedure. During production, wafers are coated by a thin layer. To avoid damage to the wafer surface, for instance by stress cracks, the NOx emitted as soon as the wafer is plane and blank must be measured. Therefore, a high-resolution NOx-detector, capable of determining exactly when the polishing process must be stopped, is...

Laboratories that analyze drinking water and wastewater form a critical component of our public health infrastructure, guided by criteria in legislation including the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) and the National Pollution Discharge Elimination Program (NPDEP). These facilities are required to handle high volumes of sewage and drinking water to analyze for wet chemistry and microbiology before discharge into community water systems. This requires the facilities to maintain continuous sampling programs,...

Fire laboratories perform different types of tests and experiments to analyze the characteristics of products and materials , when exposed to fire. Using these data , manufacturers can improve their products, fire resistance, and their longevity. Although the fire is controlled in a laboratory, many toxic substances are formed and these must be removed before the air is released into the environment. EnviBATs technology is extremely effective for this type of application. It eliminates the particles of all...

Manufacturing of powdered and liquid flavorings and fragrances involves production phases where flavoring chemicals may be released into the ambient air breathed by workers. Exposure control by gas analyzers in the production rooms and laboratories is necessary to ensure that the Time-Weighted Average (TWA) concentrations do not exceed the maximum Permissible Emission Limit (PEL) values.

The demands of your high-throughput food and beverage QA/QC laboratory require high-speed and quality analysis. Whether analyzing the degradation of edible oils or the vitamins in baby food, or quantifying food additives, pesticide residues or the color in packaging materials, or determining the distinct aroma found in natural products, Shimadzu instruments are used throughout the process to keep your lab running smoothly and your customers satisfied.

Maintain specification in your process stream or bench top setup with a Cerex process analyzer. Cerex UV3000 F Series analyzers accurately detect gases from ppb level to percent level concentrations via a fiber coupled probe for precise control of a process stream. The F series are also well suited to fiber couple to a custom cell for laboratory analysis, and feature user programmable alarm levels to control process functions or give warning when a process filter needs replacement. Cerex analyzers are also...

InfraCal TOG/TPH Analyzers allow for TPH (Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons) in soil testing at remediation sites such as leaking underground storage tanks and produced water evaporation ponds. Site managers can avoid having costly soil remediation equipment sit idle while waiting for off-site lab results. Sampling requires a few simple steps that can be performed by non-technical personnel. The soil is mixed with the extraction solvent, shaken, filtered, and then presented to the InfraCal Analyzer for measurement....

A safe laboratory environment requires an
effective method for clearing toxic material from fume hoods. Since all handling of toxic
materials is completed in these hoods, it is
critical to have a procedure to evaluate their
operation to assure adequate protection for
laboratory workers. The InfraRan Specific
Vapor Analyzer, factory calibrated for SF6, is an ideal instrument for measuring fume hood
efficiency in accordance with ASHRAE and
other standards. Manufacturers identify the flow
dynamics (factors that...

Sitelab's mobile laboratory was used by a client at a former oil refinery in Kansas and at a large tank farm in Massachusetts. The UVF data was used to delineate and map subsurface plumes of NAPL. Oil samples were collected from monitoring wells and analyzed for their GRO/DRO or VPH/EPH content.

Got oil on metal? Need to test parts for oil residue to ensure the parts are clean and oil free? Sitelab's analyzers are easy to use or send samples to Sitelab for laboratory analysis. Samples are extracted in solvent using test kits available. Wipe samples can also be tested.

The Environics Series Continuous Emissions Monitoring Calibration Systems (CEMCS) have been used in CEM vans and laboratories for over twenty years. They meet or exceed the performance requirements of the United States EPA 40 CFR Part 51 Method 205 Appendix M.
Our systems are custom built, computerized, mass flow controller based gas calibration systems which allow you to dilute a single high concentration cylinder of span gas to low levels for the calibration of gas analyzers.

Xenemetrix advanced ED-XRF spectrometers provide on-site quantitative analysis of mining products, thereby reducing the time for receiving results from days to seconds, compared to time consuming laboratory analysis.

Challenge: Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) are traditional parameters analyzed in the laboratory to determine organic matter in water and wastewater. Wastewater facility operators need to have constant data to monitor their discharges and optimize treatment processes (biological treatment, chemical dosing, etc). The requirements of BOD and COD analysis prevent them from being implemented as control parameters, however. The BOD five-day analysis time requirement...

The Cloud Point of a diesel fuel is the temperature below which wax forms giving the fuel a cloudy appearance. This parameter is an important property of the fuel since the presence of solidified waxes can clog filters and negatively impact engine performance. The traditional laboratory methods for
the measurement of Cloud Point are optical in nature, but rely on cooling the fuel for the wax formation to occur. Guided Wave’s process analyzers can measure compositional changes in the fuel that will be directly...
